The Naira which is the common man's yardstick for wealth assessment is experiencing a slide one might consider a free-fall.

You can lie and bribe but your currency would make its own statement depending on how you've treated it.

Buhari and all his supporters are happy to smear the image of Nigeria in the eyes of the international community in an attempt to score cheap political point

They seem to be tired using Bokoharam since our recent military resurgence and victories

Chigold101:
on jobs... In my state... So many job opening in agriculture.
Now! Whatare u doing to create job or make yourself relevant to Nigeria.

On roads:- you must know that states has more roads inside their state than FG. In my states my former governor & present one has transformed our roads & federal roads is becoming sweeter.
Now what is your governor doing to make your roads better?

On security- apart from boko haram, are you expecting mr president to come keep security in your state where your governor is the Chief Security officer.
In my state my governor has done so well in security, he is doing what we elected him to do.

On portable water: why did u vote in your state governor? What is he voted in to do?

Let us not drop everything on the feet of GEJ.

In 2007, I asked a Chinese student how she felt about the the so called prosperity in China which affected only a few and localised in Beijing.

Her response was, we like it that way. It will spread to everyone with time. It is better than it used to be and it has to start from somewhere. I kept quiet immediately.

Where is China today, just 8 years after?

Top of the world!!!

We have started well and anything that will take us back, holy ghost fire!!!

Soludo grades Jonathan “F” on economy; says his ...
www.premiumtimesng.com/.../175663-soludo-grades-jonathan-f-econo...
Jan 26, 2015 - Mr. Soludo said while Nigeria has for years enjoyed oil boom and ..... They say the economy is growing and is the largest in Africa and so on.

Nigeria, with a population of 170m people, is growing investment destination due to the sheer size of its consumer market. Yet, despite strong growth and a bigger GDP, it still lags behind South Africa, the continent’s only G20 member, in terms of basic infrastructure and governance. At 4,000 megawatts, Nigeria's electricity output is a tenth of South Africa's for a population three times the size. Nigeria’s GDP per capita rose to $2,688 last year from an estimated $1,437 in 2012, while GDP per capita in South Africa was $7,508.
http://www.economist.com/blogs/baobab/2014/04/nigerias-economy-bigger-everyone-thought

Risks to Nigeria’s economic growth are the sluggish recovery of the global economy, security challenges in the northeastern part of the country, continued agitation for resource control in the Niger Delta and possible distraction from the ongoing reforms as a result of the upcoming 2015 general elections. Negative growth of the oil sector may also continue to drag down overall growth until a lasting solution is found to the challenge of oil theft and weak investment in exploration due to the uncertain state of play in the sector as a result of non-passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill.

Nigeria faces an ongoing challenge of making its decade-long sustained growth more inclusive. Poverty and unemployment remain prominent among the major challenges facing the economy. One reason for this is that the benefits of economic growth have not sufficiently trickled down to the poor. The national authorities are not oblivious of this reality. Thus, poverty reduction, mass job creation and protection of the most vulnerable and those in the large informal sector are the focus of current policy dialogue and initiatives. In fact, the 2014 national budget that has just been passed into law by the national assembly focuses mainly on creating more jobs and making growth more inclusive.

Increased integration of the poor into global value chains is essential for poverty reduction. Agriculture, which is largely informal, employs about 70% of the labour force, a large portion of which is poor. Adding value to agriculture tradables will create more jobs through its upstream and downstream integration with other sectors of the economy, increase export revenues, boost income of the poor and reduce poverty incidence.
